Wait was little long but we had party of 6 so understandable for Saturday night. Food was great and service was excellent! There is an outside patio too for dining which was nice. They have a parking lot too which for Riverside area was a nice bonus. Little smaller than other napoleras but food was just as good!
As I was approaching Jacksonville, I reached out to my friend and suggested we meet up for drinks or coffee or even tacos. He suggested La Nopalera as it was close to I-95 as I'm heading north. They have a decent sized parking lot and at 12:00 on a Saturday, I had no problem fitting the Sprinter van into a good space.
Inside, seated at a booth with a view of the door and then my chips and salsa arrived. A firm salsa and the chips were warm and salted nicely. Yay!
Tacos for lunch, I chose the platter of street tacos with a variety of proteins. They arrived about 10 minutes later, hot and fresh and topped with the expected cilantro and chopped onions. The soft corn shells did collapse a bit as I ate them but the flavor was there and they were delicious.
Friendly service as we spent a good two hours talking and drinking entirely too much Diet Coke this afternoon.
Great food and even better service. We left with plenty of food to eat for later. There wasn’t a bartender at the bar so the waiters fixed the drink. I would pass on the drinks.
It was also hot when we entered. However, when we mentioned it to the waitress she took care of it right away and the manager turned the a/c down.
First time trying this establishment today. The beer is icy cold. Fajitas flaming hot. Everything came out perfect. Server was awesome too. Highly recommend this place.
Food is consistently good and fast! Their fresh guacamole is tasty. Service is unfriendly. Fun atmosphere in old train depot. Balcony and outdoor seating available.
Amazing food!! Fast and great service. Always satisfied when I come here. Great prices. Authentic Mexican taste. Never had a bad experience.
Food was good .Service was ok had to ask for refills but not major. I gave 4 stars because of the amount of time it took a host to greet us and then put us on a list when the restaurant had several empty tables. After having someone acknowledged that we were still waiting to be seated... we were finally seated..But don't hold that against them other than this mishap the rest of the dining experience was awesome.
AMAZING. We loved our whole experience at La Nopalera. Margaritas were two-for-one and were totally delicious. The restaurant itself is so visually cool, too. A total vibe.
Food was bangin’. Amazing guac, some of the best I’ve had. Shrimp was beautifully char-grilled, totally enjoyed the shrimp tacos. Chips and salsa were perfection. Churros were tasty, too.
Louis (Panama!) was a wonderful server, we had a great chat and he couldn’t have been any kinder and more accommodating. A total gem in Jacksonville and we cannot wait to go back and have another lovely experience.
I visit here often because it is convenient to the neighborhood. The food is good but service can be disappointing unless I am fortunate to get Arianna. She delivers stellar service with a wonderful attitude every time. I hope management recognizes what a star employee they have.
The fajitas are great to share! Really nice portions for a substantial meal. Especially if you are drinking a beer or two :)
The veggies were perfectly cooked and loved the fact that they came sizzling on the grill!
Enjoyable relaxed place to hang out with friends.
